Produces evidence-backed cover candidates and reviewable cover variants for a ClipTalk video.

  • Do not use for timeline editing

What it does

Cliptalk Cover Director is an agent skill from GML-MMGroup/ClipTalk. Produces evidence-backed cover candidates and reviewable cover variants for a ClipTalk video. Use when the user asks for a cover, poster frame, thumbnail, or multiple cover directions; do not use for timeline editing or social-video reframing.

Its SKILL.md is about 610 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/contracts.md`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Proposals and quotes. The repository describes itself as: ClipTalk —— 通过对话完成视频剪辑的 AI Agent。说句话,片子就剪好了。ClipTalk — An AI agent that edits videos through conversation. Just say it, it's edited.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks for a cover
  • Multiple cover directions
  • Do not use for timeline editing
  • Social-video reframing

Example prompts

  • “Use the cliptalk-cover-director skill to produce evidence-backed cover candidates and reviewable cover variants for a ClipTalk video”
  • “/cliptalk-cover-director”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): inspect_workspace, propose_cover_candidates, render_cover_variants, review_cover_variants, confirm_cover

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7471e73. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • inspect_workspace
    • propose_cover_candidates
    • render_cover_variants
    • review_cover_variants
    • confirm_cover

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Cliptalk Cover Director loads about 607 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 275 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~67
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~607
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 275 words (~607 tokens).

“Create a cover that is recognizable, faithful to the source, legible at small size, and explicitly approved.”
